The USB 2.0 to HDMI® display adapter with audio will allow you to use your Laptop or Desktop to play full HD movies in full 1080p!. Laptops have a fixed video resolution that is rarely upgradeable, so this is an ideal adapter for connecting your laptop to your TV. The USB2.0 to HDMI Adapter can provide up to 1080p video resolution (Full HD) + 2.1CH Stereo Sound through HDMI straight to your TV.

While being able to mirror the main display, it also allows you to extend the display image to the left, right, top or bottom, and can be rotated to the left, right or upside-down. Simply play any HD Movie, internet movie stream or even YouTube by using this device. It's equipped with a wide range of Media Player Software selection tools that can suit for all video formats. MS-UG17H2 is one of the best solutions for a great all in one media player.

It just works

Pros: It works
Bright, Clear
Refresh rate and dimensions are up to snuff.

Cons: It doesn't do my work for me.

Love when you get something and it just flat out works. No driver issues, no additional setup or configuration. Just right out of the box, plug it in and enjoy.
Got this to do a 3 screen setup on a walking treadmill. Plugged them in, immediately recognized, bright clear picture. Boom

Works for me

Pros: Works as advertised on my Dell Latitude e6510 mirrored
to my TV screen. Audio control works for the TV. When I
unplug the application the system reverts to the former screen
setup and also remembers the audio setup for my computer speakers.

When I plug it in it disables the NVIDIA graphics control
and does what it is supposed to do. No problems with
that

Cons: So far I can't get it to wake up from sleep. I have to
unplug it and replug the USB cable. Then it works fine

I used this to mirror my laptop to the TV screen in
another room with a 50' RedMere HDMI cable. Every
thing works. I am also able to extend the the laptop
monitor using a separate VGA cable without interfering
with the HDMI application. It works on start up and
from hibernate. So far I haven't been able to make it
start from sleep unless I unplug it and replug the USB cable.

The unit does the job. It adds an additional monitor to your computer. The display doesn't have high frame rate (possibly because of usb 2.0 limitations or the software itself?), but it is fairly usable on average resolution monitors. However, at times, the software running the displays uses a large amount of computer resources. The software is very buggy, and randomly crashes. Not only do the monitors restart, but it crashes running programs as well. I may be incorrect but I suspect there is a memory leak somewhere. Every now and then the computer becomes almost unresponsive, and killing the running processes for DisplayLink is required for proper functioning. There are also Mac specific bugs, which aren't very bothersome. They have been addressed by DisplayLink.

Aside from the shortcomings, this does the job. If you really need to connect your computer via usb to a display, then this does the job fine. I needed a secondary display, and this was the only option. After looking through other usb-to-hdmi adapters in the market, I realized most use DisplayLink. So, these issues are likely to occur on other adapters as well.
